Students appreciate when we are able to help them out when it comes to hygiene. Students do not have to worry about smelling like body odor all day since I am not able to provide them with deodorant. It helps with their confidence and self esteem when body odor is one less thing to worry about. We are always discussing the importance of hygiene and self-care.\r\n\r\nThese materials have made a noticeable difference in our classroom. Students who feel comfortable sharing that they ran out of self care products take the imitative to pull me aside and share their need. My goal is to continue building these relationships with students and keep promoting healthy habits and maintaining a positive classroom culture.","fullyFundedDate":1742823907250,"projectUrl":"project/hygiene-products-for-special-education-s/9134027/","projectTitle":"Hygiene Products For Special Education Students","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Orozco","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9180771_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1762224768821","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9180771"},{"teacherId":9622000,"projectId":8545656,"letterContent":"Thank you for your donation!\r\nMy students were so excited when they saw the new materials in my classroom!
